I have several bitmaps (game sprites) which I'd like to draw into another bitmap, however each non-transparent pixel of the source bitmap should be drawn using a single color, ignoring the original pixel color of the source. Basically, I'm trying to use the sprite as a "stamp" of a single color to be drawn into the destination bitmap.

I believe I should be using canvas.drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, Matrix matrix, Paint paint), however I'm not exactly sure how I should initialize the paint object. Is this approach correct?

If your destination bitmap is transparent, draw all your sprites inside that bitmap normally (you can use a null Paint.) Then, draw a filled rectangle that covers the entire bitmap, using the Porter-Duff xfermode called SrcIn (Source In.)
